In a ever changing world of security breaches there are some steps to take to make your accounts more secure. Here’s a Twitter one and I’d like to thank @anticommunist32 from Twitter for writing this. Check him out more, here. newsoftyranny.com
To use an authentication app for Twitter, you can follow these general steps:
1. Install an authentication app: Start by installing a trusted authentication app on your smartphone or tablet. Some popular options include Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator.
2. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on Twitter: Open the Twitter app or go to the Twitter website on your computer. Go to your account settings and look for the “Security and Account Access” or “Security and privacy” section. Locate the option for two-factor authentication and enable it.
3. Set up authentication app: After enabling two-factor authentication, Twitter will provide you with instructions to set up the authentication app. Typically, you’ll need to scan a QR code displayed on the screen using the authentication app.
4. Add Twitter account to the app: Once you’ve scanned the QR code, the authentication app will generate a unique code for your Twitter account. Enter this code into the appropriate field on the Twitter website or app to complete the setup process.
5. Verify using the authentication app: From now on, whenever you log in to Twitter, the authentication app will generate a new six-digit code. Open the app, find the code for Twitter, and enter it in the login prompt when prompted. Using an authentication app provides an extra layer of security to your Twitter account by requiring both your password and a unique code from the app for logging in. This helps protect your account from unauthorized access. Remember to keep your authentication app and smartphone secure to maintain the security of your accounts.
